Blackfield

Blackfield is the collaboration between Aviv Geffen and the British musician Steven Wilson, from the band Porcupine Tree. The album was released internationally at the end of August 2004 to much critical acclaim.

Blackfield
Curling lips, fingertips, dead eye dips
I saw it all in the blackfield
Splinter cracks, summer tracks, paperbacks
We found them all in the blackfield
In the shade, whistle blades, singing fades
In the blackfield
She wants to stay and talk all day
So I remark when it gets dark
All the pale things under the earth
Will reverse
River glass, cycle past, overcast
I saw it all in the blackfield
Copper sky, shadows rise, bridge of sighs
We had it all in the blackfield
Skin tracks, face facts, fade to black
In the blackfield
She wants to stay and talk all day
So I remark when it gets dark
All the pale things under the earth
Will reverse


Summer
Love me as the summer gone
When eyes were closed and days were long, so long
I burned a torch for you but all the while
Somewhere in the haze you lost your smile
Love me as the winter comes
Don't cast your shadow on my soul, please don’t
Don't let me sink, don't let the darkness In
Let your perfect fingers touch my skin
Heart needs a home
Its a dark and empty road
When you're alone
Love me as the springtime comes
Let your song drift down the stairs
To me
Waiting here along the way to blue
Remembering the days I spent with you

Pain
Here I'm standing on the seashore
She is gone, she is gone
All the angels pray for me
As I fall, as I fall
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain
She is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends
After so long?
To my nightmare with the devils
I'll go strong, I'll go strong
All my friends now try to save me
What a joke, what a joke
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain
She is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends
After so long?

Open Mind
Here's a song from an open mind
I gave it to you because I can
And if you're thinking that it's not that kind
It's cos my mood swings make me feel ashamed
It can pass the time
A girl with eyes that see a hundred scars
Half remembered, this is my dream
Spinning out from where the hole appears
I've never seen her, but I've got photographs
It can blow your mind
An idea falls from a porcelain sky
It wont make you rich and it wont get you high
Out of the wild it comes
From an open mind
Out of the void it comes
It comes from my mind

Glow
I show the scars of every fear and doubt
I hurt myself to let the darkness out
The days go by and nothing brings me joy
The glow was strong when I was a boy
But it's gone
And the glow
It goes
So slow
It goes
Cracks appear and passion slips away
Colours fade and turn to shades of grey
Fade away
If you knew the man I used to be
Please hold me under the sea
Or scratch my arms till they bleed
Save me
Will you help me to feel the glow?

Lullaby
Share my cup
Tie me up
Never part
Break my heart
Go to sleep
Wound me deep
Be at peace
Make me bleed
Do no harm
Twist my arm
Lie with grace
Smash my face
Kiss the ground
Drag me down
Stop the noise
Smash my toys
How does it feel without your drugs?
(sing you a lullaby)
How does it feel without my love?
(sing you a lullaby)

Cloudy Now
In a violent place we call our country
Is a mixed up man and I guess that's me
The sun's in the sky but the storm never seems to end
It's a place of sorrow but we call it a home
And the darkest thoughts, yeah I guess their my own
There's wealth in the bank, but there's nothing to show insode
In a special place that I call my life
The father was cruel and he lost his wife
But I don't see either cos I live across the street
It's a beautiful thing when it starts to rain
A man who drinks just to drown the pain
And I can't stop dreaming there's something else
We are a fucked up generation
It's cloudy now
A fucked up generation
It's cloudy now
We gotta get out of here
It's cloudy now
A fucked up generation
It's cloudy now

The Hole In Me
The hole in me
I cannot reach
The one who bleeds
Please set him free
The hole in me
The hole in me
That no one sees
The hole too deep
Inside of me
What have I done?
Treat me tonight like a movie star
Who will never die
Always surrounded by girls like you
Kill all my loneliness
Kill all my loneliness
The hole in me
That never sleeps
Born with me
It's killing me

Hello
Through a different kind of silence
I'm waiting, I'm wasting
Into the road of sadness
I'm walking without you
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Is it gonna last?
Why don't you come and take me with you?
And so I know you had to go
I'm dreaming of the past
An echo of the years we passed through
Asleep in your arms I'm drifting
I'm falling in sorrow
Dead to the world you left me
In footsteps I follow
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Is it gonna last?
Why don't you come and take me with you?
And so I know you had to go
I'm dreaming of the past
An echo of the years we passed through

Perfect World
You're on the other side
You've found a place to hide
So wave goodbye to your wasted life
You never seem to care
If God can hear your prayers
There's no sign of angels in the air
So light my way
And wish me sunny days
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world
So dry your tears
And tear up all your fears
A wish will be reborn to a perfect day
You always need the time
To say what's on your mind
You're always scared
But making out you're fine
You leave no one to cry
On the day you die
They hate you more than you hate to be alive
So light my way
And wish me sunny days
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world
So dry your tears
And tear up all your fears
A wish will be reborn to a perfect world

*Bonus track included with international release

Where Is My Love?
Endless fields of emptiness
In my dark and wounded heart
Where is my love?
Where is my love?
The freezing moment when you turned your head
And waved goodbye
Where is my love? Where is my love?
Even all the biggest storms can't take my pain away
Where is my love?
Noisy happy people crossing streets from side to side
Where is my love?
I gave you everything I could
But you want the stars
Where is my love?
Where is my love?
Endless fields of emptiness
In my dark and wounded heart
Where is my love?
Where is my love?
Even all the biggest storms can't take my pain away
Where is my love?
Noisy happy people crossing streets from side to side
Where is my love?
So where is my love?

*Bonus track included with international release

Scars
Brightest city buried in the dust
Lonely people stop and stare at us
Together you and me are getting lost
The sky falls
It's getting hard for me to see the truth
I lost my soul and gave myself to you
You are an angel and the devil too
A tear falls
All that I got left are my precious scars
I watch a teardrop falling from your eye
You are so perfect when you cry
In the corner all our endings lie
Alone now
All that I got left are my precious scars
It's me that you need now
It's me that you love now
All that I got left are my precious scars
(I wish I was immune then it wouldn't hurt)
